Kiki is envisioned as a Django-based mailing list manager which can replace Mailman.
Mailman is a grand old thing. However, there are some major sticking points, which Kiki tries to resolve.
| Mailman | Kiki |
|---|---|
| Install requires root access and a build step. | Django package. Can be installed simply and locally. |
| Includes C modules. | Pure Python. |
| Only accessible through its own web interface, and authentication is baked in. | Integrates with the django admin and provides default urls, views, and templates. |
| Uses a private database for Users. | Integrates with the Users already on your site. |
| Documents are wiki-based or not easily buildable. | Sphinx documentation is in a separate directory from the code. You can also find the docs on readthedocs.org. |
| Message queueing baked in. | Uses django-celery for queues. |
